Actually, I heard back from them and I know what your problem is... we'll get this going yet! =) > > Well, postfix probably ignores all of the sasl config commands if it's > > not enabled.

What you are doing here is telling SASL to use pam... not good. Two things here: 1) smtpd.conf should contain "pwcheck_method:sasldb" 2) it belongs in /usr/lib/sasl not /var/lib/sasl > > > Well, thanks for trying; I do appreciate it.

If this doesn't fix your problem, I will be really surprised... /me thinks I need to do a postfix+SASL tutorial on MandrakeSecure... -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 44 days 0 hours 0 minutes.
